How to Use the Mediator Search
Enter your search criteria in only one field for a wide search, or
enter in more than one field for a more specific search. Searches are
not case specific.
If you receive no matches to your search, there no solicitors on the
QLS list who meet all the criteria you entered. To widen the search
results, it may be necessary to remove one or more of the criteria.
Location
Enter the area where you want to locate a mediator.
If you select 'exact match' in the drop-down list, only locations
with that exact spelling will be displayed. If you are not sure of the
spelling of the location, try using 'sounds like'. For example entering
'mackhi' in the location field and selecting 'sounds like' in the
search type will return solicitors practising in Mackay.
Selecting 'begins with' will return results in locations whose names
begin with the criteria you entered. For example, entering 'toow' will
return solicitors practising in Toowong and Toowoomba.
Similarly, entering 'gate' in the location field and selecting
'contains' in the search type list will include solicitors practising
in Sandgate, Northgate, Margate and Highgate Hill.
For larger cities such as Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine
Coast, it is necessary to enter the suburb you require. For example,
entering 'Brisbane' will only return solicitors based in the Brisbane
CBD and not those in the outer suburbs, and entering 'Gold Coast' will
return no results at all.
Surname
If you know the surname of the mediator you are searching for, enter
it here. If you select 'exact match' in the drop-down list, only
solicitors with that exact spelling will be displayed.
If you are not sure of the spelling of the surname, select one of
the other search types from the drop-down list on the left. For
example, if you entered 'man' in the surname field:
- sounds like - resulting surnames are close to 'man' (eg Man, Meehan, Miano)
- begins with - resulting surnames begin with 'man' (eg Man, Manfred, Manning)
- contains - resulting surnames include 'man' (eg Man, Newman, Manfred).
Given name
Enter the given name of the mediator you are searching for.
Firm name
